This is really random and out of order because for some reason I thought I was doing 2006 and not 2007 entries. Oops =X

Translation/Summary:

Please do not repost without permission.

- The "opening word" comes from listener "Nami." She always goes shopping by herself - she has a hard time deciding what to buy. One time it took her 8 hours to pick out a pair of sneakers - she couldn't decide between black or white. She wants to know if Nino goes shopping alone or not. First he tells her she should write into the Guiness Book of Records (for the 8 hour shoe shopping LOL). Then he tells her he goes by himself - he thinks it's only girls that go with friends. Boys usually go by themselves. He thinks 8 hours is a little scary.

- The first part of this next story I missed entirely (Nino talks waay too fast and the sound quality isn't as good this week), but in the end he advises the person that it's better not to buy expensive things. If you buy something really expensive, it won't seem expensive anymore and you'll start looking at things that are even more expensive.

- Skipping over the keyword corner, it was mostly boring :D

- In the Ura Arashi corner "Ninoko" writes in about Nino's piano skills. She's noticed that he does a lot of compositions on piano and wants to know what age he started learning. She's also learned piano but doesn't think she's as good as him. She wants him to play "Rai Rai Rai" on the piano next time. Nino gets distracted by STBY and only ends up saying he does everything by guitar, even though he can play piano too.

- Someone else writes in about how Ohno mentioned on mago talks that he'd run into his first love. She wants to know if that's happened to Nino. He says no, but starts thinking about those high school reunion parties - he's never been invited to one.

- This week's quiz question is "True or false: Nino weighs himself every day." The answer was false. This week 81% of viewers were correct (He seems surprised, but it's kind of an easy question. Who actually weighs themselves every day?). A lot of people read his Game Nikki, where he wrote an entry about having weighed himself for the first time in a long time. This week's present is Nino's cover of Ando Yuko's "Nouzen Katsura." He decided to pick a song that he wouldn't normally do in a concert. He purposely added noise to the song to make it sound like an analog recording.

There's two versions of the original song, so I'll upload both of those as well as Nino's cover. Nino's seems to be based off of the "Reprize" version, which I think was used in commercials. It's worth listening to her version to compare.

As always, corrections or comments are much appreciated!


Note: Usually I try to make a mirror upload on MF, but now I'm back and school and that means there's a rediculous upload cap. I have a paid MU account so it still works okay, but every time I try to upload to MF it dies at like 2%. If anyone else would like to upload the radio show to another server as a mirror I'd gladly add the link :)
